This is absolutely true. With the right constraints you can get some good answers (and many more parlor tricks as mentioned). Left to their own devices like answering vague questions or on longer answers, llms including GPT4 generate empty substanceless drivel. Doesn't make it worthless, definitely makes it overhyped.
- lacrimacida 3y agoHow could vague questions be rewarded with any substance? Im sure that could be baked in somehow but one still has to pick their type of substance otherwise it’s too broad to make any sense. But substance really isn’t their goal, tools don’t provide any of that and LLMs aren’t anything else but a tool. There is a lot of hype, I agree, but that doesn’t mean LLMs aren’t useful and it’s all hype.

- girvo 3y agoThough LLMs now have fun examples of giving the wrong answers to the right questions, too. That's a neat evolution!
